You're likely to get a fat lip on Fat Tuesday: In Ashbourne, Derbyshire, Shrove Tuesday means the annual Royal Shrovetide Football match. The game pits one half of the Ashbourne populace against the other. There are only six rules, three of which are: 1) no transporting the ball in a motorized vehicle; 2) no concealing the ball in a bag, coat or rucksack; and 3) no killing your opponent. Apparently maiming is OK, although unnecessary violence is frowned upon.
